Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Analyse the public passenger transport system from the point of view of technological, operational-economic and qualitative, identify and formulate transport problems, propose solutions to the transport system, summarised and evaluated the consequences and effects of the proposed changes in the areas of transport quality, technology, and technology used, organisation, economy and environment. Carry out an evaluation of the transport system, changes and impacts using the methods studied. Skills to prove by solving a semester project.
